SPICY SHRIMP AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Sprinkle the shrimp with the taco seasoning.

SHRIMP AND BELL PEPPER STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a bowl or measuring cup, mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet or wok over high heat. Add the bell peppers and stir until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Scoot the peppers to the edge of the pan, creating an opening in the center.
• Add the shrimp in a single layer to the center of the pan and cook until just beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add three-quarters of your scallions (hold back the rest for garnishing at the end) and stir everything together.
• Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Next, pour in the sauce and allow it to bubble and thicken in the pan while stirring, about 1 minute. The sauce should really cling to the shrimp and vegetables. Remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle everything with the cilantro and mint and stir to combine. Garnish with more red pepper flakes and the remaining scallions before serving.
